Oh God, those are awful! How I miss the days of the passionate kiss followed by fade out. I get the feeling none of these writers find any, for want of a better word, joy in sex. There's certainly none on the page.

I may be in the minority but ALL sex scenes read like these to me. They always seem ridiculous.

Jeff That's what I meant by insoluble metaphoric cryptogram. Nonsense not worth trying to decipher.
